described our contribution in this fashion: "The popular Blue of a Kind, the group of a cappella men singers, offered a couple of standards
in top-notch harmony arranged by their founder, Bob Eggers, who directs and arranges their numbers. Now grown to about 18 members, they
project a soloist, here pleasing tenor Ed Fellenbaum, then add a background of wordless harmony on oos, highlighting the soloist.
A unique musical entity.". The full review of the concert is to be found
